Just ‘slightly’ expensive lol
Anyone who brags about their expensive mountain bike is not a mountain biker. That's just a douchebag with a mountain bike.
i need tips for a mountain bike i want to make content
no regular mountain biker needs a carbon bike. most of us are way overbiked
here is your minimum total
bike: 2000
helmet, glasses and protectors: 200
pants and shirt: 100
shoes: 50
small parts like bottle, pedals, pump etc: 150
total: 2500 gets you going for at least two years
oh and learn how to service the bike yourself: priceless
Expensive things : titanium frame , power meters , carbon components , electronic items . Sports insurance . Medical costs if injured . Custom items . Maintenance . Service tooling .
The way I help justify it, I get such good cardio/lungs exercise that I don't get otherwise, so I figure in the long run I may save untold hospital doctor $ when I'm old…..older . Lol
rocking my 10+ year old full sus mongoose that was new $275.. crank bearing is just starting to wobble… now looking at those carbons …. wowzer
What do you mean "expensive"? You can get a really solid budget bike for mere $7000 and really good googles can be as cheap as $300!
Capitalism has rotten the activity since Covid
Exactly. You don’t need to buy ever new thing. Work with what you got
Biking is pretty cheap/affordable comparatively to other hobbies.
